Andrew Bogut wants in on Tokyo 2020 with Boomers
Both Andrew Bogut and Andrej Lemanis have indicated that they want Bogut to continue playing with the Australian team through to the next Olympics.
What do you guys think about that?
Personally, I think if he happens to be healthy at the time you'd be mad not to take him. Despite coming off of an injury Bogut was very effective for Australia in 2016 and he still seems to have some bounce in his step. And even if he loses some of his hops he will still have his most important attributes - his size, strength, passing, defense and basketball IQ.
Australia's depth at center looks be wearing a bit thin. With Anderson likely to retire before 2020, the only obvious options, as fantastic as they are, are Aron Baynes and Thon Maker. Would an aging Andrew Bogut coming off of the bench for 15 minutes be worth more to the team than a Jack Landale or a Isaac Humphries? It's entirely possible.
